"Seppelt Show Sparkling Shiraz, an Australian classic and a curiosity, has been made at Great Western for over a century. Nowadays the wine is a sparkling version of the St Peters Great Western Shiraz. The wine is made in exactly the same way but is matured in large oak vats for a further 12 months. It is then tiraged (addition of liqueur and yeast for secondary bottle fermentation and bottle aged) for a further 8 years before disgorgement. This is a very eccentric style and the absolute pinnacle of its type, a “dry table wine with bubbles” with beautiful creaminess and yeasty complexity, derived from a long period of bottle age. The wines have remarkable cellaring life."Andrew Caillard MW
